When I was 8, I watched Superman I and fell in deep love with the Christopher Reeves version. I was convinced that he was watching me through my window at night because he lived on Mars (it was red and HE wore red) and was someday going to knock on our door (with flowers) and say, "Is Crystal Home?" in this really longing romantic voice. I wore my favorite pajamas every night in anticipation of his arrival.
I never wore gloves. I always had fingerless mittens that are hard to build snow people with. I asked my mother why, and she said when I was little I loved the talking glove on the Hamburger Helper dinner commercials. She told me I was afraid I would kill the glove's family if I stuck my hand inside thier heads.
I don't really remember liking the dinners made by Hamburger Helper as a kid.
I used to think that cartoons were people who painted themselves up and went on set. I remeber asking my mom how they get all the paint on them and such. Oh...good times.
i used to believe people were secretly watching me and all my friends were just sent to make me happy or sad because every time i started watching or listening to something everybody else would too

When seeing films from the advent of motion pictures, I assumed that everybody used to walk differently than we do now, and that's why people's movements were so jerky. It was years later I learned it was the difference in the film equipment used.

When i was little i used to think that actors actualy had to grow into the parts that they played , for instance if the movie started of with a character as a little girl they had to wait for her to grow up so they could film those scenes , i have no idea where that came from, cause really nothing backs that up ! but the whole concept of other actors and makeup just wasn't gettin through.... but its ok after my mum nearly wet herself laughing she set me straight !!!!

When watching the show The Incredible Hulk, I used to think that if I watched him change from Bruce Banner he would come through the TV and get me. Trust me, I got to be very good at hiding in the cushions of the couch when I heard that telltale music.
I had a friend who, as a child, used to think that name of our local movie theater was "a theater near you" because of the commercials that always said "coming soon to a theater near you" :-)

When I was little I used to believe that whenever a lightbulb was not on, it turned into an eye which could see me, big brother style... And insisted on turning lights on everywhere I went. I only got to sleep with the light off when I was 13!
I used to believe that movie ratings stood for the following: G=Good, PG=Pretty Good, R=Rotten, X=Extra Rotten.
Now that I'm grown up, I have different thoughts on this.

My twin sister and I used to believe that we could do every dance move the people in Dirty Dancing did. I can't tell you how many times we about knocked each other out when we would try to through a leg on the other's shoulder like they did in the first dance scene.
I used to think that soap operas were the real lives of the people on the other side of the world, and that there were hidden cameras taping me for them to watch!

When I was a child, I used to believe that if you turned off you r tv during a show, that the show would "halt" where it was, and as long as no one turned on the tv before you got back to it, you could continue watching your show from where you left off. I used to think that someone turned the tv on when I was away, making me miss the rest of my show... This was before video recorders were availabe to the general public...
I used to believe that when I turned off the TV, whatever I was watching would "pause". When I came back and turned it on, I was disappointed to see it had kept going and was over.

I used to believe that at the end of each day all of the TV shows on a particular channel would rewind on air, like a video.
I used to think they actually killed the actor who played Robocop, like all his scenes as Alex Murphy were done first, then the director had the actor killed on screen and that OCP was a real company and financed the movie studio(that hows they gave them Ed 209 robot, and the armor parts for robocop)
